      Is it though?

      How many GOP’s have just straight up refused congressional orders? No police showed up and dragged them to congress.

      When Trump doesn’t show up for his prison sentence, what do you expect to happen?

      New York police going to walk into Florida and stand toe to toe with Secret Service?

      Would the NY police have authority to tell the Service to step aside?

      I don’t know what will happen, and I expect Trump will push the limits.

        Uh, no. That’s not going to happen. Why do some people think that the Secret Service is Trump’s private army? They work for Biden and the White House.

        How do you think Trump was forced to attend court every day? He would rather be out golfing.

        Actually, a couple people have served jail time for refusing congressional subpoenas over the past few years

        And why would the secret service break the law? They are law enforcement.
